Re: Elijah Coeburn s/o William & Amanda Coeburn of VA/KY
How awesome to find someone who is searching also. My husband Gary Coeburn is the grandson of Oscar and Opal Coeburn. We live in Wise, VA. We have been wondering who Elijah was. Great to find out he was William and Amanda's son. We do not know where William is buried. Amanda is buried in Glencoe Cemetery in Big Stone Gap, VA along with Oscar's son Robert Wiley who died at birth and his daughter Jewel who died at 9 years old. Amanda died in 1933 at the age of 76 years. William and Amanda are Gary's great-grandparents. Oscar has one daughter living in Pennington Gap, VA (Norma Eldridge). She has a lot of the history and we have recently been trying to "stumble" through some of it. Norma recalls meeting Kizzie at the home of Jannie Coeburn Delp (William and Amanda's daughter). Where there two Kizzie's?? William and Amanda's daughter and Kizzie Palmer who married Elijah????
How are you related??? Look forward to hearing from you -

Sandy,
Yes, I do believe there were more than one Kizzie. Let Gary know that I just recently ran across this census information in the 1860 Hancock Co. Tenn. Census:
Herd, Elijah 38 M b. Tenn Sally 35 F b. Tenn Elisabeth 16 F Hireling b. VA Kizsiah 13 F b. Tenn L??cky 9 F b. Tenn Manda 6 F b. Tenn Saryan 4 F b. Tenn Caroline 1 F b. Tenn
I do believe that this Manda is Amanda, being that she would have been 6 yrs old in 1860. Notice also the Kizsiah? Probably another Kizzie in the family! Apparently a popular name to run in the family...having a sister with it....naming a daughter it.....& having a daughter-in-law with it.
Let me know if Gary thinks I'm on the right track with Amanda here.
Hope to talk to Gary again soon. Oh, I also have copied a few pix to send him....one of g-grandma Kizzie Palmer Coeburn & one of my Granny, Bessie Coeburn Johnson.
Thanks, Phyllis

Hello. I was searching for the name Coeburn and ran across this. My name is Rick Coeburn. I'm from Wytheville, VA. I'm not sure if we're related somehow. My father was born in Bluefield, WV and mother in Wytheville, VA.
